An Indiana prosecutor and Republican activist has resigned after
emails show he suggested Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker stage a fake
attack on himself to discredit unions protesting his budget repair bill.

The Republican governor signed a bill on March 11 that eliminates most union rights for public employees.

In an email from February 19, Indiana deputy prosecutor Carlos F. Lam
told Walker the situation presented "a good opportunity for what’s
called a ‘false flag’ operation."
